Untitled (Lettres) 1998

"Untitled (Lettres)" (1998) by Moon Pil Shim is an installation of 21 small square paintings. Each frame contains an abstract image of horizontal lines, and a variety of color palettes fill the canvases. The work can be viewed as a commentary on the artist’s own artistic practice: "Lettres," or letters, suggests a focus on the written word and the artist’s relationship to it. The artist’s signature style is characterized by these bold, vibrant lines that create a sense of movement and rhythm, conveying a sense of energy and life.
